Help with Multicast - multicast traffic not crossing WAN

Level 1

Hi

I've deployed multicast configuration but I'm can't see multicast traffic coming down the wan.

Here's what I've done:

vlan 50 is where the servers are sitting at site1 and they need to receive mutlicast traffic from site 2 vlan 8.

Site 1:

Switch1

interface Vlan50

ip address 10.44.50.253 255.255.255.0

no ip redirects

no ip unreachables

ip pim sparse-mode

standby 50 ip 10.44.50.1

standby 50 timers 1 2

standby 50 priority 120

standby 50 preempt

WAN link at site 1 switch1:

!

interface GigabitEthernet1/0/50

no switchport

ip address 10.10.51.105 255.255.255.252

ip pim query-interval 1

ip pim sparse-mode

load-interval 30

Site 1 Switch 2:

interface Vlan50

ip address 10.44.50.254 255.255.255.0

standby 50 ip 10.44.50.1

standby 50 timers 1 2

standby 50 priority 105

standby 50 preempt

WAN link at site 1 switch2:

interface GigabitEthernet1/0/51

no switchport

ip address 10.10.51.145 255.255.255.252

ip pim query-interval 1

load-interval 30

Site2 Switch1:

interface Vlan8

ip address 10.45.8.254 255.255.255.0

ip pim sparse-mode

standby 8 ip 10.45.8.1

standby 8 priority 110

standby 8 preempt delay minimum 60

hold-queue 2048 in

WAN link at site 2 switch1:

interface GigabitEthernet1/43

ip address 10.10.51.106 255.255.255.252

ip flow ingress

ip pim query-interval 1

ip pim sparse-mode

ip route-cache flow

Site2 Switch2:

interface Vlan8

ip address 10.45.8.253 255.255.255.0

ip pim sparse-mode

standby 8 ip 10.45.8.1

hold-queue 2048 in

WAN link at site 2 switch2:

interface GigabitEthernet1/4

ip address 10.10.51.146 255.255.255.252

ip flow ingress

ip pim query-interval 1

ip pim sparse-mode

ip route-cache flow

Can someone see a reason why Site 1 vlan 8 isn't getting multicast traffic for multicast group 239.255.3.20.

Just so you are aware we have an appplication that is sending the multicast via tcp across the wan link then multicasting it into site 1. I want to remove this application and instead have multicast traffic traverse the wan link in raw form.

Any thoughts?

Thanks in advance

Dan

Hi Peter,

Many many thanks for that descriptive reponse. Life is now so much clearer :).

I'll review the pdf plus add points.

Thanks
